* Our lab is committed to finding solutions for future '''C'''hallenges and '''C'''onsequences of '''C'''limate '''C'''hange: '''the four C's.''' <br><br>

-

* We approach this by studying '''plant''' '''tolerance''' and '''resistance''' in diverse environments. <br><br>

+

-

* Why in plants? Because plants are primary sources of '''food''' and their adaptation to new environments is a prerequisite for the establishment of '''life''' as we know on earth.<br>

We're interested in genetics of natural variation, population genetics and molecular biology. We're currently studying immune-receptor gene variation and the effect of temperature on modulation of defense in frame of the project DISEASENVIRON (Career Integration Grant, Marie-Curie Actions, EU). <br><br>

Scientific interests.
We're interested in genetics of natural variation, population genetics and molecular biology. We're currently studying immune-receptor gene variation and the effect of temperature on modulation of defense in frame of the project DISEASENVIRON (Career Integration Grant, Marie-Curie Actions, EU).

Applied research.
Our lab collaborates with the group of Prof. A.F. Tiburcio to study polyamine homeostasis in plants and its practical applications for inducing stress tolerance against abiotic stresses.
